Breathing Utopian Air

This weekend we are meditating with a new feature: Carpe Diem’s Utopia, based on the idea of a perfect place, community or society. The goal of this new feature is to create utopian (excellent) haiku or tanka, using the classical rules.

When I was a kid growing up in New Mexico, the honeysuckle smell filled the air on summer nights. That may be surprising to hear about New Mexico. We were extremely poor, but on those nights it didn’t feel like it.
